Yep, get in line, I'm owed 25 years of.employment earnings. Canada proves time and again that we operating ahainst the most vulnerable with impunity since the world doesn't care, especially in creepy Toronto. They risk their lives to help Canadians and like so many in our caste system they are treated like peasants. This refugee who cleaned Toronto’s long-term-care homes during COVID is still owed thousands: ‘I just needed to survive’.
Julieta Morales Trejo worked on the front lines during the worst waves of the COVID-19 pandemic, cleaning the City of Toronto’s long-term-care homes.
But she’s still owed nearly $6,000 in unpaid wages, more than a year after Ontario’s Ministry of Labour ruled her employer had misclassified her as an independent contractor and denied her the overtime pay and benefits she was entitled to.
The 37-year-old refugee from Mexico thought she had been hired at Alpine Building Maintenance in 2022 — a “national provider of premium facility cleaning,” according to the company website, which had been contracted by the city. She later learned she was actually working for another firm subcontracted by Alpine to do the job, a complex chain that left her unsure who was responsible for her pay.
